Best quotes from The Raven

But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door, Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door, Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore...

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Leave my loneliness unbroken.

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer, Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.

Here I opened wide the door;— Darkness there, and nothing more.

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting, on the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door.
